New AK Nighttime Experiences

[Ariel4711]

Hi everyone! I apologize if someone has already asked this, but does anyone have a clue as to whether or not the new experiences at AK will still be around in the fall and winter?
I am assuming ROL is sticking around, but just wanted to double-check. I am hoping the extended hours will remain in affect through December, because I would really love to get to see all the new nighttime additions on our next trip. (Also assuming Jungle Book will not be around since they have already said it will be limited engagement.)
TIA for any info you all may have!

Yes this is planned to be permanent to help support AVATAR in 2017.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to 100% positive. Thank you!

This isn't a "new" ride but Kali Rapids will be totally different at night. I hope they have some cool nighttime effects.

Well the sunset effect looks pretty awesome!

Just disappointed about ROL... just sayin.

Do you mean disappointed that it was delayed? It's still happening sometime this month, right? We're going in July and I sure hope it'll be up and ready by then!

I hope it will be ready too, but it sounds like they have quite a few more "kinks" to work out than expected.

I hope it's ready for the next time I go.

It has a new lighting package.

Disney is going to announce on May 30th what's going on. They have the new Jungle Book show that will use some of the elements of Rivers of Light. As of now there has been no date given for ROL, or how long the Jungle Book show will continue. There will be something there for your trip, but at this point I don't think even Disney knows which show will be running.

I have no clue OP. But I am very excited to find out what the word is on this. My trip is November so I think I am safe. But can't wait to find out what the new AK hours will be each day. And how it will look at night! Hopefully the new seating isn't too difficult to grab a seat without arriving super early.
